Binary Space Partition Window Manager! Oh how I do adore thee. You let me
arbitrarily divide up the windows on my screen into neat regions that I have
fine control over, and you let me dictate my own arbitrary hotkeys.

Every now and then someone in a class or hackathon will glance at my laptop
and ask me "woah, how did you get it to look like that?" I must confess that
desktop customization somehow became a hobby of mine some time in middle school
and has since devolved into something of a mild obsession. I tend to tinker
with my desktop environments a lot, both for aesthetic and practical purpose.

I finally got around to finishing off my website redesign. I started over
winter break, but got stuck on Jekyll integration for Github Pages. I had some
free time so I decided to polish it off. I'm pretty pleased with how it's
turned out, particularly in color and layout. It took a week or two of playing
with Kuler and Subtle Patterns before I finally settled on something that
didn't make my eyes bleed.
